"The Heir of Rome is Turkey" "The Heir of Rome is Russia" Wrong foolish laughable The heirs of Rome are Seattle and Portland. Major trading city uniting east and west, astriding great waters? Massive centralized metropolis far upriver from the sea on a major river?

The upper class and orthodox group vs the poorer and more heretical/weird group you don't say i see no parallels

Blues and Greens, political factions in the Byzantine Empire in the 6th cent. They took their names from two of the four colors worn by the circus charioteers. Their clashes were intensified by religious differences. The Greens represented Monophysitism and the lower classes; the Blues, orthodoxy and the upper classes. In 532 the two factions joined in the Nika revolt against Emperor Justinian I and Empress Theodora.
